New Jersey’s
hazardous waste regulations are found at N.J.A.C. 7:26G-1
et seq., adopted October 21, 1996 and announced at 28
NJR 4606. By this adoption, the Department “incorporated
by reference” (with limited exception) the July
1, 1993 version of the Federal hazardous waste regulations
at 40 CFR Parts 124, 260-266, 268 and 270, mandated by
the Resource and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) and amended
by the 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA).
Effective January 19, 1999 the Department amended the
regulations to allow for prospective incorporation by
reference, which means that all provisions of 40 CFR Parts
124, 260-266, 268 and 270 incorporated by reference are
continually automatically updated in order to maintain
consistency with the most current Federal rules.

The
requirements for hazardous waste generators are specifically
found at N.J.A.C. 7:26G-6 et seq., which references 40
CFR Part 262 of the Federal regulations (with some exceptions
and/or changes).
